277 Dream Future Master (2/2)
Thinking about it, she left the Dream Realm and arrived at her secret hideout.
It was a temple. In it, there was no god. Rather, there was a lotus flower carved from white jade with a tablet in front. There were no words on the tablet but rather, there was a row of mysterious-looking runes which flashed a golden glow.
”I am follower Meng Lian, and as I pray with sincerity, I invite Grandmaster to appear!”
Meng Lian appeared serious as she lighted the incense and prayed.
”Buzz! Buzz!”
Green smoke emerged and the petals on the white lotus on the altar started to open. A blurred figure emerged and there was a glow everywhere.
”Greetings, Grandmaster!”
Bai Lian paid her greetings respectfully.
”Forget it!”
A voice was heard on the altar; it sounded neither male or female. ”You are a reserved Divine Lady. In front of a true Divine Lady, you can only make one request. Think carefully!”
”I have thought through carefully!”
Meng Lian gritted her teeth and a white lotus appeared on her forehead. In it, there was the image of a young man; it was Fang Yuan. ”This person has the coordinates of a Karma World. Grandmaster, please help me in locating him!”
”Mm, it is indeed fate for you to discover such a lead!”
The voice from the altar appeared shocked. With the wave of its hand, the white lotus from Meng Lian's forehead flew towards it.
Meng Lian remained still and had utmost confidence in the person before her.
This Grandmaster was a highly-skilled dream master and a dream future master. The Grandmaster could let the happenings take place in its dream world and take into consideration the trend of the world to foretell the future. The Grandmaster was spot-on every single time it made a prediction.
Of course, the Grandmaster had its limitations.
Every time it proceeds with a prediction, it would consume a lot of elemental energy.
If the person being investigated on had too high a cultivation level, the information the Grandmaster would receive would be fewer.
Furthermore, there was the possibility of backlash as well. If the Grandmaster were to predict the opposite of what would happen, the Grandmaster would be likely to die.
”Although the information you provided is limited to his looks and his name, I am powerful enough to predict the future of that small dream master!”
Meng Lian quickly gathered her thoughts. If not for the fact that she shared the same heritage with the Grandmaster, as a reserved Divine Lady, she might not even have the rights to get help. It was a great favour from the Grandmaster to agree to help her.
”If I can obtain the coordinates of that Karma World, everything will be worth it!”
Her eyes glistened as thoughts ran wild in her mind.
”Hmm... This person's future is blurred and it is extremely hard to predict his future. However, since you only require his location, that is simple...”
After a short while, the figure on the altar spoke again.
A small slip of paper appeared in mid-air and glided down. On the piece of paper, a few names of places were written down.
Seeing this, Meng Lian was overjoyed.
”After this, we are even. Take care of yourself!”
With a flash, the figure disappeared. What was left behind was the lotus on the altar as how it was before.
Hearing the words from the Grandmaster, Meng Lian felt a little lost.
...
”Hmm? Why do I feel a little worried...”
In the small district town, Fang Yuan was practising his martial arts. Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine.
”I only have enemies from Thousand Year Mountain and Divine Lotus Cult. The Thousand Year Mountain might be able to trace me until here but even Lin Qianye will not be able to make me feel as such. Only the presence of Venerable Longhu would make me feel like this...”
Fang Yuan appeared solemn. ”Could this mean... The Divine Lotus Cult? Meng Lian is indeed scheming...”
To survive this, he could only rely on himself.
He took a quick glance at this stats window:
”Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 36
Spirit: 30
Magic: 40
Profession: Dream Soldier Master
Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (2nd Tier), Wu Zong (3rd Meridian)
Technique: [Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique (Grade 4) (5%)], [Hundred Poison Golden Body (1st Refining)], [8 Gates Sword Array (3rd Sword) (2%)]
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)]”
”Although my spiritual techniques and my martial arts are improving, they are taking too long. The only thing I can make use of will be the heavenly energy from the Water Realm...”
Fang Yuan's consciousness entered his actualised dream world. Looking at the green ball floating in his 8 Gates Word Array, he remained silent.
The force that he could exchange from heavenly karma was extremely similar to the realm energy from the Hui Realm. Both of them could directly increase a dream master's cultivation level and were extremely rare.
Based on his guess, this would be the purest form of heavenly energy. Or rather, the source of energy of the world. It was a common form of energy across all worlds as they would come from the same source.
”If I can obtain huge amounts of heavenly energy from the worlds, it would only be a matter of time before I achieve consecutive breakthroughs...”
Looking at the ball of heavenly energy in front of him, he sighed. ”This is too little...”
As more and more swords were formed in the 8 Gates Sword Array, the resources needed to form the next sword would increase exponentially. This ball of energy was not enough!
